INDIAN HISTORY ALONG THE KENNEBEC.
The story of the Indian in the region of the Kennebec is one
fnll of interest to all citizens of the State of Maine. It is not
expected that we shall be able in this short account to mention
all the details of the stirring events of the time which elapsed
between the date when Indian history in this region begins and
ends. Our purpose is to briefly state the story of the leading
events of that stirring period.
The date to be selected as the starting point is hard to de-
termine. The Indian tribes east of the Conneticut river were
known by the name of Abenaquois. But this name came in time
to be restricted largely to those Indians who lived along the
Kennebec from Merrymeeting Bay to Moosehead Lake. The
name has come to have the spelling, Abenakis. The Indians
were well disposed toward the whites and made no attempts to
create trouble till after the Plymouth Colonists had carried out
their methods of kidnapping and pillaging. As was natural their
faith and good will was transformed into suspicion and hatred.
From this grew trouble, which at times was very disastrous.

6 Vassalboro, Maine.
The first glimpse of the re dm an of this valley is obtained in
the accounts of Captain Gilbert. These are very meagre but
give something of a picture of Sebenoa and his tribe as they
wandered through the forest unrestricted and fearless. The
next recorded arrival of white men among the Indians is that of
Edward Winslow and others of the Plymouth Colony in the fall
of 1625. . Three years later a trading post is established at
Cushnoc (Augusta), and the white man comes more in contact
with the child of nature. For thirty-four years this post was
continued as the trading base with the Indians. But during this
time, sorry to relate, the English did nothing for the Indians in
the way of educational or religious training. It remained for the
French to supply this much needed assistance to the redman.
We learn that in 1643 an Indian who had become a Christian
under the labors of the French missionaries at Sillery or Quebec,
came down the Kennebec as far as Cushnoc and told the Indians
there of the majesty and beauty of the new faith. Through
this agency there was considerable intercourse between the
Abenakis and the Indians of the Northwest. A few years after
a delegation from the Abenakis appeared at Sillery to beg that a
missionary be sent to them on the Kennebec. The result of this
appeal was the appointment of the renowned Father Gabriel
Druillette who started on his mission in 1646. He established i?
successful mission at a point about three miles north of Augusta.
Here he became greatly beneficial to the Indians. He was most
eager to participate in all their pursuits, sharing the experiences
of the tribe in its winters hunting in the region of Moosehead
Lake. He went back to Sillery in 1647 and did not return untii
Vassalboro, Maine.
1650 though the tribe sent a delegation each year requesting his
return to them. In 1650 he came back and renewed his labor
among them. This time he came as an envoy as well as a mis-
sionary, and after meeting his old friends and companions at the
mission he set out for Boston where he met in the capacity of
envoy from the Abenakis Indians, the chief officers of the city
and state.
He was the first Jesuit to enter the streets of Boston. He
also met the leading officials of the Plymouth Colony, and in all
quarters was assured of the good will of the people in behalf of
the Abenakis Indians, in this move for an alliance to protect them
from the Iroquois who were very troublesome. But though
Father Druillette returned to the Kennebec in a very hopeful
frame of mind, his efforts were proven of no value as the people
of Massachusetts could not be interested in the proposed alliance
to such an extent as would be necessary to carry it to a successful
ending. The result was that the Abenakis were left to depend
upon their own resources.
Father Druillette returned to the Kennebec in 1651 after a
journey of fearful hardship from a long wandering in the forests
in the region of the St. John river, occasioned by having lost
all trace of the course he was to follow. He finally reached the
settlement at Norridgewock and was welcomed by his simple but
sincere followers as an angel from heaven. He spent some few
weeks attending to the needs of his mission, and then made
another trip to Boston earnestly beseeching the people of Massa-
chusetts to join with the Abenakis in defending the region from
8 Vassalboro, Maine.
the onslaughts of the Iroquois, but to no avail. Father Druil-
lette returned once more to his valley mission and passed a long
dreary winter in performing his duties to his forest friends. At
the beginning of March, 1652, he started for Quebec. This trip
was to be more fateful than the one preceding it. Some of his
party died of starvation. Father Druillette was without food
six days following the fasting season of Lent. They had even to
resort to the boiling of their moccasins, and at last to the boiling
of Father Druillctte's gown — Camisole — which was made of
moose skin. All but starved and thoroughly exhausted they
reached Quebec. This was the last of Father Druillette's experi-
ence with the Abenakis. Though his work had not preserved
them politically, he had raised their standards and brought them
to a higher plane of living for which they continued to love him
and cherish his memory. This remarkable man was born in
France in 1593, and died in Quebec in 1679, having passed nearly
forty years in missionary work.
FIRST INDIAN WAR IN MAINE.
After the departure of Father Druillette, for nearly a quarter
of a century the history of the Kennebec Indians is a blank.
The friction between the English and the Abenakis continued to
be productive of discord. The English made no effort to better
the Indian. Puritanism had no attraction for him, but the
religious rites of the Catholic faith with its beautiful symbols of
those days in the skillful hands of an enthusiastic priest held
Vassalboro, Maine. 9
their attention and won their faith and love. The Abenakis felt
that the taking of Druillette from them was in some unknown
way due to the influence of the English, and this being so it is
plain to be seen that soon the relations between these parties
must become strained.
The events which led to the outbreak in Maine were brought
on by the Iroquois opening war upon the settlements in the
Valley of the St. Lawrence. There is an old tradition that there
was fought near the outlet of Moosehead Lake a terrible battle
between the Iroquois and the Abenakis. There is little or no
proof to support this, but it has come down through history as
one of the disasters of this tribe. It is said in this connection
that a whole village was massacred save an old chief who was
carried to the west and later tortured to death.
With the opening of King Phillip's War came a stir among
the Indians of Maine, especially in the western portion of the
State. This led to an uneasiness on the part of the settlers about
the mouth of the Kennebec. From this resulted a parley between
the Indians of this valley and other Indians of the state and the
English, in which an agreement was made by the Indians to yield
up their arms and remain peaceful. This seemed to be a settle-
ment of the matter, and undoubtedly would have been had not
Squando, a Saco chief, interposed objections to the treaty, and
refused to be a party to it. This spoiled the best laid plans. The
Indians were soon seen to be increasingly insolent. Trouble was
imminent. War broke out. Massacres along the coast were
committed in large numbers. Another parley was held with the
Kennebec Indians, this time at Ticonic. The Indians demanded
10 Vassalboro, Maine.
their arms saying they wished no part in the war then on, but
were suffering from lack of food and had no means of procuring
it without their guns and powder. The English refused this
request. This was the "last straw" with the Indians and they
joined the Androscoggins and other tribes and began pillaging up
and down the valley. This lasted about three years. Then fol-
lowed a treaty of peace which was welcomed by the Abenakis,
who during the conflict had not been so cruel and barbarous as
the Androscoggins and others, thanks to the influence and teach-
ings of Father Druillette. In this treaty provisions were made
by the English to protect the Indians of Maine from the tribes of
the west. But this was simply a temporary settlement, a kind of
truce. The two races were naturally repellant.
THE SECOND INDIAN WAR.
The second war in Maine was brought on by the troubles which
had been long standing and the new complications made by the
outbreak of war between the English and French — King Wil-
liam's War — in 1688. The French used the Indians always to
further their political ends, and this case was no exception. The
Indians of the whole State were soon on the warpath and de-
struction of life and property was of daily and nightly occurrence.
In the midst of this an event of great interest to the student of
Indian history in Maine occurred. It was the coming of Father
Sebastian Kasle to the Kennebec valley to re-establish a mission
of the Catholic church. The advent of the missionary has always

been held to have been a part of the political plan of the French
to hold their grasp on the Indians of this valley.
Kasle came from St. Francis through the woods of the northern
part of the state to the headwaters of the Kennebec, and readied
Norridgewock, where he established his mission, in 1695. Here
he drew the remaining families of the tribes of this section of
the State. He re-opened the religious work of Druillette and the
history of his mission is the history of the Abenakis tribe from
that time till it left the waters of the Kennebec.
Whatever may have been the part Rasle played in the conflict
he found in progress we know not. It was probably in behalf of
peace. Soon after his arrival the Kennebec Indians sued for
peace, through their chief, Bomaseen, and others. Those on the
Kennebec were willing to see the war close but the French allies
were not and so the war again broke out. New disasters occured.
The English blamed Bomaseen and he was taken prisoner and
lodged first in Fort William Henry at Pemaquid, and later at
Boston. The Xorridgewocks resumed the warpath. For two
years the war raged. Another treaty was made in 1699. Bom-
aseen was released.
This was also simply a truce. When Queen Anne was crowned
in 1702, she declared war against France. This was sure to pro-
duce war on the western continent, and in this State as she
asserted her control of Acadia. A conference between the Eng-
lish and the Indians of Maine was held because of the warlike
premonitions. It was to re-affirm the treaty last made, and to
preserve peace. It was held at Casco — now Portland — and was
attended by Bomaseen, Moxus, and Captain Sam, chiefs from
12 Vassalboro, Maine.
Kennebec. Father Rasle was also in attendance. The treaty
was signed, but could not be kept in good faith. War was soon
on again and though the Abenakis did not join as a body some of
their warriors are supposed to have been concerned in the con-
flict. The treaty of Utrecht — 1713 — ended the war for a time.
The fourth Indian war in Maine is particularly interesting as it
was the conflict which ended with the death of Father Rasle at
Norridgewock. Though it was due in a general way to the same
causes as the other conflicts there were other circumstances con-
nected. One of these was that the people of the State and all
New England felt that with the peace of Utrecht the end of
Indian troubles had come. They were flocking to their former
colonial homes. They were taking up new claims granted them
by the different companies, and by the State. In some cases no
doubt they took up land which no one had given them the right
to take. This soon led to friction between the English and the
Indians. The English were aware that many of the deeds of the
lands which they had bought with a few dollars worth of whiskey
and tobacco of the most worthless Indians were really of no
value, were the cases to be tried in a court of justice. They
however claimed that these deeds given in a drunk, perhaps, and
by a sagamore who had no tribe at all to represent were abso-
lutely binding and that they must enforce them. But they did
not like the Indian's method of taking his revenge for wrongs,
either real or fancied, so it was concluded to call a general con-
ference of the tribes in Maine and the officials of the State to be
held at Arrowsic in the summer of 1717.
The Indians came in large numbers and also the Governor of
Vassalboro, Maine. 13
the State and other officials. The parley opened very pleasantly
but a discussion of the ownership of the land was brought on
and the conference was broken up by the Indians leaving the
council tent. Father Rasle was the friend and counsellor of the
redmen and well did he use the means at hand. The conference
was re-opened the following day but an agreement was practi-
cally forced upon the Indians in such terms as the governor was
pleased to decide upon. From this time on the advance of the
whites was made with confidence. The Indians watched the
felling of the forests, the building of the forts, and the stamped-
ing of their game in sullen silence. Rasle labored indefatigably
to save to his people these lands. He interested the people of
Canada and other tribes. Soon notice was given at Arrowsic
that unless the whites retired from the lands they had usurped,
war would be opened upon them. This notice when sent to
Boston brought prompt action on the part of the government.
Troops were ordered to the scene prepared to punish the rebels.
Rasle was considered by the English to be at the bottom of all
the trouble. A reward for his capture was offered. An expedi-
tion for his capture was organized and started direct for Nor-
ridgewock. It was unsuccessful, but came near being otherwise.
Rasle was in hiding in the forest, but his dwelling was entered
and his library and other belongings, left in his hasty flight, were
burned.
This attempt was viewed by the Indians as a full and sufficient
reason for war. All the other tribes felt that this outrage must be
avenged, and prepared to do each its part in seeing that justice
should be done. Not long after the burning of the Chapel
14 Vassalboro, Maine.
at Norridgewock the Indians fell upon the settlements and again
the woods of the Pine Tree State rang with the whoops of the
savage, mingled with the death cries of their victims. The
English decided upon another attempt to capture Rasle. Captain
Moulton, with a picked party, ascended the river to Norridge-
wock, but found the village deserted. Rasle, aware that a reward
was offered by the government for his head had taken himself
and his followers to a safer place. This time no destruction of
property was attempted. This was the third attempt to take
Rasle either dead or alive, the second being only a short time
before the one just mentioned.
The war continued with dreadful destruction. Men, women
and children were killed at all points in Maine by the Indians.
Whole settlements were wiped out in a single day or night. The
whole section was terrorized. The English were now led to make
another attempt to slay Rasle, whom they considered to blame
for all this disaster. Captain Moulton accompanied by Captain
Harmon with a goodly company of troops set out once more for
the beautiful village on the banks of the Kennebec. This ex-
pedition was attempted in the summer time, as the others which
had been all unsuccessful had been such largely because of the
snow. The troops started in whale boats on the 19th of August,
1724, and reached Ticonic on the day following. On the 21st
the troops marched toward Norridgewock. Before night the
force came upon a party of three persons near where the village
of South Norridgewock stands to-day. The two women were
shot. The father, fleet-footed, ran swiftly through the forrest to
carry warning to the village above. He was overtaken, however,
Vassalboro, Maine. 15
by the bullets of his pursuers as he attempted to cross the river
at a fording place. The victim was Bomaseen of whom we have
made mention before.
We are unable to state with any certainty the details of the
advance upon the village. It h.is been handed down that the
party crossed the river where the chief had fallen and marched
to the high land a mile or two from the river where they could
overlook the village and decide upon plans for its destruction.
The forces were divided. Harmon led a company toward a place
where it was fancied a camp might be as a smoke could be seen
winding from the forest. Moulton advanced upon the village
with the other force. Leaving two parties in ambush he took the
remainder and charged upon the huts. The village was at once
in a panic. No organized resistance was made. The Indians
were shot down in cold blood either by the attacking party or by
those in ambush. Rasle was seen issuing forth from a cabin in
his priestly garments and was instantly riddled with bullets. He
fell at the foot of the cross he had erected with his own hands.
He was surrounded by his faithful neophytes, seven of whom fell
by his side. Thirty indians were dead and half as many more
were hobbling into the woods wounded. Not one of the assail-
ants was hurt, save one of the Mohawks who had accompanied
the party.
The purpose of the expedition was accomplished. The Eng-
lish destroyed the village, scalped Father Rasle and the other
victims and wended their way down the river. This cruel mur-
der has since it was committed ever been remembered in history
and in local traditions. The grave of Rasle is marked by a
16 Vassalboro, Maine.
monument. He will always be remembered as a man whose only
offense was devotion to the people he served, and constancy
to his vows. Rasle's death ended the mission for some years.
The larger number of the Indians who survived went -to St.
Francis. The war continued about a year after this incident, but
the Abenakis had no part in the conflict after this time. Six
years after Rasle's death the mission was re-established but only
temporarily.
Here practically ended the Indian wars of this valley. Other
minor conflicts occurred after the above events but were of little
importance.
Vassalboro, Maine. 17
EARLY SETTLERS AND SETTLEMENTS.
In tracing the history of the town of Vassalboro we find that
our task lies in tracing out the story of the settlement and devel-
opment of the whole section along the banks of the Kennebec
River, above Cushnoc, or Augusta as it was later called. When
the white man first gained a knowledge of the territory of this
region along the Kennebec the forest resounded only to the
stealthy step of the redman, and the waters reflected only the
rude, rough features of the child of nature as he bended over
them to cast the rude implements of fishing or seek a draught to
quench his thirst. For a long term of years after the first of the
white men learned of the territory hereabout no progress or
even attempts to settle were made. The strife that was waged
between the white men and the Indians made the whole of this
region the secure home of the latter for a long time. But with
the advent of the trader came some small development of oppor-
tunity to settle. From the 31st day of May, 1607, when the
Popham expedition sailed from England to the mouth of the
Kennebec and made preparations to establish there a colony, the
fortunes of the Indian seemed to have been doomed. There were
many long periods of doubt as to whether the territory of this
region was to belong to France or England; but there never was
a time when there was any doubt that the Indian, sooner or later,
must leave the scenes of his former domain. The French
18 Vassalboro, Maine.
adopted methods which seem to have been well calculated to
hold for a time the confidence and friendship of the redman, but
their purpose was identical with that of the English and aimed at
the control of the territory of the larger part of the whole
North American Continent. While the French were aiming at
the subjugation of the Indian by diplomacy and apparent friend-
ship, the English were carrying on their old and well known plan
of subjugation by the might of the sword. This policy entrusted
to the adventurers whom they sent to establish their dominion,
coupled with the deceit which was frequently practiced upon the
Indian served only to make the English the more hated and the
French the more trusted.
This condition led to strife which was destructive of life and
property as well as of the advance of civilization. So long as
the strife of arms continued little or nothing was done for the
betterment of the region of the Kennebec. When the fort at
Winslow, Fort Halifax, was built in 1754 there was a certain
amount of protection for the settlers offered, and from this time
there was something done toward settlement. But previous to
this time the history of the section is a story of strife between
the Indians and the English with the complications made by
the French in addition. Briefly the events of most importance
following the establishment of a colony at the mouth of the
Kennebec by Popham in 1607, as above stated, are the following:
The grant of territory known as the Plymouth or Kennebec
Grant was made by the Plymouth Council on January 13,
1629. This grant included all the territory on either side of the
Kennebec river to the extent of fifteen miles from its banks, and
Vassalboro, Maine. 19
extended from the vicinity of Topsham to the Wessarunsett
river at Cornville. Following this grant there was erected a
trading house "up above on ye river in ye most convenientest
place for trade." This was undoubtedly at Cushnoc, or Augusta
as it is now known. Not long after this, some six years, the
Plymouth Council became disheartened and surrendered its
charter to the King of England. Then by various acts and
grants the King placed this and other territory, which included
practically what is included in the present State of Maine, under
the control of Sir Ferdinando Gorges. His domain was
designated as the "Province of Maine." He sent his nephew,
William Gorges, as Governor, and this gentleman established his
capitol in Saco, and opened court there on March 28, 1636.
As there were no settlements yet on the Kennebec, Gorges exer-
cised no jurisdiction, but the Pilgrim Colony made a monopoly
of the trade with the Indians. But the trade with the Indians
became in time so scanty that it was leased in 1640 to five parties,
William Bradford, Edward Winslow, Thomas Prince, Thomas
Willett and William Paddy. The consideration was a small sum
and the lease was to run three years. This lease was r.mewed
till 1661 when the patent was sold outright to Artemas Boies,
Edward Tyng, Thomas Brattle and John Winslow.
One of the very first civil actions on the part of the p< ople
scattered along the Kennebec near its mouth, occurred on May
23, 1654, when sixteen men assembled in compliance wit! an
order from the General Court of Massachusetts to one Tho nas
Prince to "summon the citizens on the river Kennebec that t/\ey
might take an oath of allegiance and arrange a judicial code." In
20 Vassalboro, Maine.
accordance with this order the sixteen men, mentioned above,
assembled at the house of one Thomas Ashley near Merrymeeting
Bay on the above date, and besides taking the oath, "promulgated
the first prohibitory law in the State of Maine." It provided for
penalties for the selling of liquors to the Indians.
We find that at the outbreak of King Phillip's War there were
two men who had trading places at Waterville, Teconnet as it was
then called. They were Messrs. Clark and Lake. In a short time
the war assumed such proportions that the Maine Indians took
part, and a large part of the traders about the vicinity of
Arrowsic and at points further up the river were killed. This
conflict and those which followed were so destructive that as late
as 1749 there were only two families left on the river above
Merrymeeting Bay. In 1749 nine of the heirs of the men who
had bought the rights of the Plymouth Company in 1661 met in
Boston and organized and became incorporated in order to obtain
their rights to the lands which had been bought by their ancestors,
and to devise means to open the territory to settlement. In 1753
the company petitioned Gov. Shirlejr of Massachusetts for the
erection of a fort at Teconnet Falls. This was the beginning of
the opening up of the whole of 1 Kennebec Valley to settle-
ment. Teconnet was regarded as thu stragetic point by both the
Eng ish and the French and by the Indians also who saw in this
new move a thing dangerous to their interests. But their protest
was in vain and the fort was erected. General Winslow was in
charge of the eight hundred troops who accompanied Governor
Shirley on this expedition. It was he who laid out the fort and
ha ■' charge of the operations about the scene of the fortification.
Vassalboro, Maine. 21
It took but a short time for these English to build five buildings
about Fort Halifax. Soon a stockade eight hundred feet in
length was put up, cannon and rifles were brought up the river in
scows, and a wheel road was cut through from Fort Weston at
Cushnoo (Augusta). When the works were completed Governor
Shirley inspected them and very highly complimented General
Winslow and his men. Capt. Lithgow, who had been in com-
mand of Fort Richmond, was assigned to the command of Fort
Halifax, and was given a garrison of eighty men. We are in-
formed that there was a whale boat express established between
this place and Falmouth (Portland) which made the trip in
twenty hours, a rate of speed considered rapid for those times.
After the garrison was established at Fort Halifax it was soon
learned that the Indians were determined to make trouble if
possible. No man was safe if he ventured beyond the limits of
the fortifications. Several were mortally wounded by the Indians.
They continued to make trouble till the summer of 1757 when
the last skirmish with them occurred. It is recorded that Capt.
Lithgow had noticed for a few days that there were rafts drifting
down the river, and concluded that the Indians had used them to
cross at some point above and come down in attack on the settle-
ment. He sent a party of ten men down the river to give warn-
ing of the impending danger. As these men were returning they
were fired upon some ten miles below the fort, in the vicinity of
Riverside, and two of the party were wounded. They returned
the fire and continued the fight with such gallantry that the
Indians fied after one had fallen, shot dead, and another wounded.
The Indians carried away these two on their backs to prevent
22 Vassalboro, Maine.
them from being taken prisoners. The above skirmish occurred on
May 18, 1757, and was the final shot of the redman, as a tribe,
in this region.
The purpose of the fort was now realized. It was the key to
the region of the Kennebec, and had unlocked the valley to the
axe of the settler. It is of interest to note that the garrison was
much reduced after a short time, and that the fort was dis-
mantled after the close of the French and Indian War in 1763.
When Arnold passed up the Kennebec on his expedition to
Quebec the large house within the fort was used as a hotel. It
was called "Fort House." This building was used afterward as
a dwelling house, meeting house, town house, later as a danc-
ing hall and finally as a home for the poor. A Mr. Thomas tore
the building down in 1797 and used some of its timbers in the
construction of the Halifax House. Capt. Lithgow remained at
the fort for some time. He was engaged in trade at this point.
He was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for
Lincoln County as early as 1760. In 1772 he removed to George-
town where he died in 1798 at the age of eighty-three.
Abbott says in his history of Maine, "Winslow was incor-
porated this year (1771) including the present town of Waterville.
Here was the famous Teconnet of the Indians ; and it was on this
point, on the neck of land formed by the union of the Sebasti-
cook and the Kennebec, that Fort Halifax was reared. As early
as 1754, eleven families built their cabins at this frontier fort in
the wilderness." The Rev. E. C. Whittemore, in writing on this
point, says, "Abbott states that eleven families settled in Winslow
in 1754, but, if so, they have left neither trace nor name." We

are inclined to believe that there were no permanent settlements
on the banks of the Kennebec at this point till somewhat after
this date.
EARLY SETTLERS.
Ebenezer Hall settled on lot 73, first range, lately occupied by
his grandson, Alexander Hall. South of Mr. Hall was Barnabas
Hedge, of Cape Cod, an early settler. He had two sons,
Jonathan and Scotto. The latter settled where Henry M.
Sawtelle lives, and Jonathan where E. Lincoln Brown lives,
on the east side of the road. South of the Hedges, Nathaniel
Lovejoy made his settlement, and south of him were Isaiah
Crowell and Aaron Gaslin. North of Ebenezer Hall were
Edward. Hoyt and Thomas Carlton. The Greenleaf Low farm,
north of GetchelPs Corners, was settled by a man named Blanch-
ard, from whom Mr. Low's grandfather purchased. Next north
the lot was settled by Remington Hobby, who was very promi-
nent in civil affairs in the first days of the incorporation of the
town. The Seminary is located on a portion of the Hobby pur-
chase. Hall C. Burleigh's farm was settled by Jacob Taber and
was subsequently owned by John and Elijah Pope, who married
two of Friend Taber's daughters. The northern part of the
town was settled after Getchell's Corners, John Getchell himself
owning the land where North Vassalboro now stands. Jonas
Priest was the first to cut his way from the river to Priest Hill,
and there started his homestead where his grandson, Theodore
W. Priest, now resides. He came from.Groton, Mass., in 1775,
24 Vassalboro, Maine.
and in 1792 received a grant of two hundred acres from the
proprietors. His first hut was on the stream which flows through
the homestead farm which he obtained under such conditions as
were then necessary. James Johnson soon settled west of
Priest, where Miss Johnson now resides. Enoch Palmer settled
where Mrs. Handy, his daughter, lives. South, up the outlet,
Joseph Brann settled, and a man named Lord settled the place
where Hunton lives. William Brann, brother to Joseph, settled
where Jefferson Plummer resides. Between North Vassalboro
and the river, where Charles Robbins resides, Paul Taber made
his settlement in the woods; and across the road, where Thomas
H. Starky lives, was the first settlement of Moses Sleeper.
William Weeks pitched his tent where Parker C. Gifford lives,
and Peltiah Varney settled where Albert Cook lives, up the lane.
Where Gideon Hobby settled now belongs to the Daniel Ayer
estate, and near here Tobias Varney lived. The highway extend-
ing over the hill northeasterly from the town house was early
known as Quaker lane, in allusion to the numerous families of
Friends who made the earliest settlement upon it. Ebenezer
Pope, whose brothers, John and Elijah, have already been men-
tioned, built a house in 1806, where his son, Elijah Pope, now
lives. He owned also the present James Pope farm, next north.
One of Ebenezer's sisters married John Cook, and they settled
the Frank H. Lewis farm, still further north. Another sister
married John Cartland, a Friend minister, and they settled be-
tween Ebenezer Pope's and John Cook's. South of Ebenezer
Pope's was the early settlement of the old Goddard family. The
reader should already understand how generally the first settlers
Vassalboro, Maine. 25
of this town came here from Cape Cod; but about 1827 several
whale captains of Nantucket packed their household goods and
came with their families to Vassalboro, settling along the eastern
side of the town. Among them were, Reuben Weeks, David
Wyer, Shubael Cottle, John G. Fitch, Shubael Hussey, Henry
Cottle, Joseph Barney, James Alley, Seth and Daniel Coffin, and
Captain Albert Clark. Between the north village and Priest hill
Colonel John Dearborn settled. His house was west of George
Newell's farm, while east of him and north of Mr. Priest, Peter
Pray had an early home, where George Taggart lives. South of
Priest's Abner Taylor settled, where some of his descendents
reside. We have noticed the early coming and usefulness of
John Getchell. Undoubtedly he was the first, and certainly was
the leading spirit among them. He was a successful hunter —
skilled in forest lore — and went a few miles up the valley with
Arnold, in the fall of 1775, which small investment of fact has
yielded a handsome return of fiction in the hands of sensational
and superficial writers.*
INCORPORATION.

MILITARY MATTERS.
This town, like so many others in the County of Kennebec, is
justly proud of its military record. We know that no written
word can do justice to those services; therefore, we attempt no
pen-picture of the deeds of former generations, wrought on the
field of battle to preserve the principles of free government. We
give their names and arrange them to show the different periods
of service in which they were engaged. The following is Vassal-
boro's record for the war of 1812-'15.
This town raised companies by eulistment. One was raised for
Colonel Moore's regiment, and the commissioned officers were:
Vassalboro, Maine. 31
Daniel Wyman, captain ; Alexander Jackson, lieutenant; William
Tarball, ensign. Thomas Hawes, Daniel Whiteliouse, Zenas
Percival and Roland Frye were sergeants; John Clay, Gersham,
Clark, Thomas Whiteliouse and Jonathan Smart, corporals;
George Webber, musician. There were twenty-nine privates.
Wing's company, enlisted in Vassalboro, was attached to the
same regiment. The commissioned officers of the company were:
Joseph Wing, captain; Levi Maynard, lieutenant; and Nehemiah
Gould, ensign. The non-commissioned officers were: Elijah
Robinson, Moses Rollins, Stephen Low, Josiah Priest, sergeants;
Levi Chadbourne, Amasa Starkey, John Frye, Reuben Priest,
corporals. The musicians were Enoch Marshall and Stephen
Townsend. The privates numbered fifty-three men. Still an-
other small company was enlisted for Moore's regiment, and the
captain was Jeremiah Farwell; lieutenant, Aaron Gaslin ; Charles
Webber, Eli French, John G. Hall, and Elijah Morse were ser-
geants; Benjamin Bassett, Nathaniel Merchant, and Heman
Sturges, corporals; John Lovejoy, musician; and the file of
privates numbered thirty men. A company was drafted from
Vassalboro, of which Jeremiah Farwell was commissioned cap-
tain; Nathaniel Spratt, lieutenant; and Nehemiah Gould, ensign;
Charles Webber, Amariah Hardin, Jr., Jabez Crowell, and Elijah
Morse were sergeants; Roland Frye, Samuel Brand, Benjamin
Melvin and Thomas Whitehouse, corporals; Washington Drake
and Timothy Whitehouse, musicians. The company embraced
sisty-seven men as privates.

MANUFACTURING ACCOUNT.
Because of the innumerable water powers scattered throughout
the eastern states munufacturing has become a very prominent
industr}- in this part of the country. In no section is this true to
a greater extent than in Maine. When the pioneers began the
preparation of a home in this region they found two things were
necessary, viz. : a mill to grind corn into meal and a mill to saw
lumber. These they at once began to provide. The earliest
recorded effort made by the early settlers to secure a grist mill
bears the date of October 20, 1766, when Vassalboro was the only
settled place above Cushnoc (Augusta). It is in the form of a
petition to the Committee of the Kennebec Company in Boston
and reads as follows :
To the Honorable Committee of the Kennebec Company in
Boston :
The most of us are able to raise a great part of our bread and
expect soon to raise it all, but we greatly need a grist mill, there
being none nearer than Cobbossecontee, which costs us ton shil-
lings a bushel. Grant us a grist mill »n Seven Mile Brook by
building the same or granting the lot to some settler, or the
inhabitants "will build the mill themselves, if in your great wis-
dom and goodness be meet to grant ns the privilege.

It appeai-s that the negotiations resulted in securing a mill and
we therefore conclude that the first mill in this town was located
on the Seven Mile Brook.
Other mills on this stream have been owned and operate 1 as
follows: Grist Mill built in 1812 near Riverside by James T.
Bowdoin. His successors were Joseph Stuart, Thomas Carlton,
and Hiram Lovejoy, who sold in 1827 to Ephraim Jones. At
this time wood sawing was done here.
At that time this was the only mill between Augusta and
Waterville and had three runs of stones, often being operated
day and night. Other owners were A. P. Fallowsbee after 1829;
George W. Hall and Augusta parties in 1838; later, and the last
we are able to learn of, Thaddeus Snell. It is now in ruins.
There have been several other mills on this stream, one of them,
located further up, being operated away back, in the early years
and was later owned by one James Robbins. It was built, date
uncertain, by Benjamin Brown, Capt. William Farwell and John
Howard. The tannery near the saw mill was built by John
Gardner about 1830 and the old Coleman saw mill near Webber
Pond later called the Foster mill. Two paper mills have been

operated on this stream, one near the mouth, burned in 1841, and
one further up the stream built by Cox and Talpy.
VASSALBORO.
The history of manufacturing in this portion of the town is
made up of traditions very largely. From tradition largely we
learn that there were at a very early date dams and works on the
brook back of the Isaiah Gifford place. An ashery, pail manu-
factory, plaster mill, both the former being the property of Jacob
Southwick. He also ran a large tannery at the mouth of the
brook, near the river, built in 1816. Thomas Frye and a firm
of Thomas & Ebenezer Frye operated his tanneries near the vil-
lage on the same stream. Other and less important industries
were carried on at this part of the town from time to time but
the above comprise the chief among the very early ones.
Boot and shoe manufacturing was carried on here at one time.
F. D. Dunham, about 1835, began to manufacture boots and after
a few years was burned out. He sought new quarters and con-
tinued his business till about 1880, sometimes employing as many
as one hundred men. Joseph Estes was another who was en-

gaged in this industry employing about fifty hands. Caleb
Nichols and William Tarbell were also engaged in this same line.
About the close of the War there was a saw mill built on the H.
C. Burleigh place. It was run by water power at first, later run
by steam.
NORTH VASSALBORO.
In the first decade or two of this century Dr. Edward South-
wick from Danvers, Mass. built up a tanning business at this point
which was in 1820 the largest in New England. We learn that
he had to the west of the Jonathan Nowell house more than an
acre covered with sheds for his tan bark. About the time that
Dr. Southwick was at the height of his prosperity John D. Lang,
of Providence, R. I. came to N. Vassalboro and put some more
capital into the wool carding and cloth dressing mill then owned
and operated by his brothers-in-law, Alton Pope and Peter M.
Stackpole. The plant was turned into a complete woolen mill
under the name of Lang, Stackpole & Pope, and was in full
operation at 1836. Mr. Lang obtained control of the tannery
about 1850 and the year following the brick mill was built. The
property gradually passed into the hands of Boston parties and is
owned and operated to day by the American Woolen Co. The
new mill which is 47 by 200 feet, is the largest mill then and, now
so far as the writer knows, in New England. This has been for
years and still is the leading industry here. Other small plants
such as the saw mill and grist mill and the box shop have at
times been operated on this power.

EAST VASSALBORO.
The power at the outlet of China Lake is ati excellent, one.
The proprietors were, we are informed, instrumental in having
built the first saw mill at this point, a few rods below the bridge at
the village. John Getchell is the first millman we know in con-
nection with this property. After the mill had become old and de-
cayed a tannery was built on its site by Moses Dow. He was
succeeded by Franklin Dow, his son, who continued the business
until the water power was superseded by steam. The fire fiend
destroyed the plant but it was rebuilt by Mr. Doav before his death
in 1848. The business that same year passed into the hands of
Caleb Nichols and William II. Gates. James C. Pierce became a
partner of Mr. Cates in 18o4. The business was continued until
Vassalboro^ Maine. 43
1873, tanning- about fifteen hundred hides a year. The other
plants here included the usual grist mills, saw mills and workshops
which passed through various hands serving well their day and
generation.
At Seward's Mills, Giles Seward first harnessed tin- power for
mill purposes. Here for a time prospered various industries, but
they gradually passed out of existence and this community became
dependent on the fertility of its excellent farms which never fail.
CHURCHES.
The church history of the town of Vassalboro is chiefly a
history of the different denominations. We shall endeavor to
trace the story of e;ich of these briefly.
BAPTISTS.
So far as we are able to learn, the first church society formed
here was The First Baptist Church of Vassalboro, organized on
June 3, 1788. This church prospered for about a dozen years.
A second church was organized at Cross Hill in 1808 with thirty-
seven members. Their pastor was Rev. Mr. Marble. The first
church then added about a score of members to its number and
prospered brief! y, soon becoming nearly extinct. Its church was
sold for 643.00 in 1832, to Ezekiel Small. It stood north of the
old grave-yard and south of the outlet lauding. In 1825 a revival
took place and the church took in about twenty more members.
44 Vassalboro, Maine.
The pastor was undoubtedly, at this time, Rev. Jesse Martin, who
remained four years after this date.
These two churches finally concluded to unite, and on October
12, 1839, they so voted, and also to build a church near Seward's
Mills. The members had increased by the union to about seventy.
The new church was dedicated on October 22, 1840. The follow-
ing pastors have been among those in charge of the church: Revs.
Ellis Kimball, Henry Kimball, E. W. Cressey, J. T. Swett, S.
Fogg, E. Trask, H. Chipman, F. Merriam, Fred Bicknell, R.
Bowler, E. S. Dore, M. J. Kelley, S. K. Smith, L. B. Gurney,
Frederick A. Vinal, W. P. Palmer.
The North Vassalboro Baptist Church was started here at a
date not far from 1870, and a church was built in 1872-3. Its
pastors have been Revs. John Dore, Nathaniel Butler, Samuel
Bell, L. P. Gurney, F. A. Vinal, W. P. Palmer, W. C. Stetson,
W. A. Smith, supply; Robert Morris, and the present pastor,
F. S. Clark. This church was thoroughly renovated in 1901,
something like a thousand dollars being laid out on its interior
and exterior. The reader will find the hours of service for this
church at the top of page 4, together with a small cut of the
building.
CONGREGATIONALISTS.
The Congregationalist denomination was first established in this
town about 1820. The first building was erected at Vassalboro
about 1816. Two years later Thomas Adams was sent here by
the missionary society, and he organized the church and became
Vassalboro, Maine. 45
its pastor, remaining a long time. The building later became
known as the Union church, but was finally used as a barn,
about 1889. The next move of this denomination was at River-
side where they erected another church in 1836. This church
was burned in 1885. It was rebuilt two years later. Among its
pastors have been the following: Rev. Fred Chutter, 1880; Rev.
Henry Harding, 1883; Rev. David E. French, 1884; Rev. James
E. Aikens; Rev. Mr. Woodrowe.
Mr. Adams returned here in I860 and remained four years.
The descendants of his former flock built the church at Vassal-
boro and named it Adams' Memorial Chapel. The pastors of the
Riverside Church hold services here.
METHODISTS.
The Methodist denomination was not formally organized in this
town till a comparatively later date, not far from 1850. We have
the knowledge that the great apostle of Methodism, Jesse Lee,
visited the town, and was followed by other men of this belief for
many years, but no church was organized. At East Vassalboro,
Sullivan Bray, in 1852, was pastor, his charge including North
Vassalboro also. Others who followed Mr. Bray were O. F.
Jenkins, Cyrus Phenix, Daniel Clark, Benjamin B. Byrne, L. H.
Bean. At North Vassalboro the society was provided with a
place for worship in the Union church till 1875, when they moved
an unfinished church from Winslow, and repaired it for their
present building. From 1875 to 1881 the pastors at East Vassal-
boro were W. J. Clifford, Daniel Smith, Josiah Bean, J. R. Clif-

ford, and E. H. Tannic! iff e. From 1886, among their pastors
have been the following: William Wood, E. H. Haddock, W.
Wiggin, W. F. Prince. In 1890, North Vassalboro and Getchell's
Corners societies were united, with W. J. Kelley as pastor, and
East Vassalboro was joined with China. The succeeding pastors
at North Vassalboro have been, Edward Freeman, 1890-1 ; Frank
W. Brooks, 1891-4; X. R. Pearso.n, 1894-6; J. A. Weed, 1896-7;
F.W. Towle, 1897-9; E. S. Gohan, 1899-1901; B. G. Seaboyer,
1901 to the present time.
The Methodists in the southern portion of the town were
organized at an earlier period, erecting the church on Cross Hill
about the year 1813. Among the pastors who served the society
and classes at Riverside, South Vassalboro, and Cross Hill, were the
following: Benjamin Jones, Albert Church, Charles Munger, Daniel
Fuller, Barnett M. Mitchell, Ephraim Bryant, George Pratt, Cyrus
Phenix, Sullivan Bray, Lewis Wentworth, 1857 ; Jesse Harriman,
1858; S. Freeman Chase, 1860; F. A. Soule, 1861; James Hart-
ford, 1863; Ephraim Bryant, 1864; Levi L. Shaw and Elliott B.
Fletcher, 1865; Ephraim Bryant, 1870; Theodore Hill, 1871;
Charles E. Springer and E. B. Fletcher, 1872; Abram Plummer,
1873; Samuel Bickmore, 1875; William J. Clifford, 1876;
Charles II. Bray, son of Sullivan Bray, 1877; Wilbur F. Chase,
1880.
CATHOLICS.
The Catholic Church of North Vassalboro is a mission church
supplied from other towns of larger size. About 1871 this
society erected a neat and modern house of worship.

UNION CHURCH.
The Union Church was erected at North Vassalboro in May,
1851, at an expense of $800.00. Beriah Weeks, Timothy Rowell
ami Levi Webber, were the building committee. It was then the
only church edifice there. In 1880, having been several years
closed, it was sold for the benefit of the chief contributors, and

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
OAK GROVE SEMINARY.
*It is to the honor of the Society of Friends, in Kennebec
County, that its members espoused so zealously the cause of
education. Although the early Friends here were unlettered in
a large degree, and, perhaps, partly for this reason, they resolved
that their children and those of future generations should be
wisely and carefully taught. The grove of oak trees crowning
the top of the hill to the north-east of the village at Vassalboro,
was chosen as the location pf the school which these Friends
founded fifty-four years ago. There are few more striking
landscape views in tne state. The eye follows the winding
Kennebec through its beautiful course among farms and forests
until it reaches Augusta, and far beyond the city, to where the
horizon is skirted with hills. The noted peaks in the range of

western Maine mountains are prominent in the northwest, while
Mt. Washington and Mt. Adams are visible over the western
hilltops. The position could not fail to be constantly an inspiring
influence; then, too, only a few rods from this spot the Friends
meeting in the county had been held in 1780, and a large body of
Friends still assembled there for worship. Furthermore, this was
a center to a large community in which the children had no edu-
cational advantages beyond the ordinary town schools; and finally,
in or near this neighborhood lived men who had hearts large
enough to use their means in laying the foundation to an institu-
tion, the good work of which had only begun in their life time.
About the year 1850 John D. Lang and Ebenezer Frye, of Vassal-
boro ; Samuel Taylor, of Fairfield; and Alden Sampson and
Alton Pope, of Manchester, all prominent members of the Society
of Friends, advocated the establishment of a school where the
children of Kennebec County might receive careful training,
cultivating influence, religous impression and broad teaching. To
secure its establishment they individually gave $1,000.00. Wil-
liam Hobbie, grandson of Benjamin Hobbie, a vigorous spirited
man and a natural teacher, was the first principal ; but the school
in these first years, not being a financial success, was closed.
In 1856 Eli Jones, the Friend minister and missionary, whose
home was in the town of China, advocated that an effort be made
to open the school ; $15,000 being necessary to secure the suc-
cess of the new undertaking, he became chairman of a committee
to raise that amount, which was nearly all subscribed by six hun-
dred Friends in the State. Eli Jones was made principal for the
first year and had a large and successful school. A large part of
Vassalboro, Maine. 49
the children of Friends in the County had the benefit of a longer
or shorter period at the Oak Grove Seminary, as it was named,
and here they have been helped to become good citizens and to
lead noble and valuable lives.
In 1880 a fire destroyed the academy building, necessitating
the close of the school. Five years later a large building for
school purposes was constructed joining the boarding house on
the south side of the road. In the autumn of 1887, as a large
school had just begun the entire structure was burned down by
an incendiary. In this time of discouragement friends were not
wanting and the present set of buildings was raised, Charles M.
Bailey, of Winthrop, paying for their construction in order that
all other funds might be used as a permanent fund, which has
now reached $20,000. Besides the principals already named, it
has been under the instruction and care of Albert K. Smiley,
Augustine Jones, Elijah Cook, Franklin Page, Richard M. Jones,
Edward II. Cook, Charles H. Jones, and Rufus M. Jones, some
others serving for a short period. The seminary is now owned
and managed by the New England Yearly Meeting of Friends.
Originally the Friends aimed at having "select schools," where
their children might be taught by themselves: to-day their two
schools in New England are open to all who are suitable to be
admitted, and the seminary last year enrolled one hundred and
thirty-one students. All such institutions have an inner history
which no one can write, and an influence no one can measure.
Perhaps no other one thing which the Friends of Kennebec
County have started into existance has accomplished so much
good or has in it so much possibility of future blessing, not only

in this County, but to the State at large, as Oak Grove Seminary:
and so long as it stands it will be a noble monument to the
memoiy of the faithful and generous men who wrought for it in
its infancy, who mourned for its reverses, and who lifted it from
its ashes to its present condition of usefulness. The present
faculty consists of, George H. James, A. B., principal, mathe-
matics; Charles W. Davis, A. B., science and history; George G.
Wright, commercial department; Alta M. Bailey, A. B., pre-
ceptress, Eagiish, Latin, Greek; Leroy J. Small, A. B., modern
languages; Mrs. Low, music; Miss Townsend, art department.
SCHOOLS.
The town of Vassalboro has ever stood out boldly and faith-
fully for the support and maintenance of her schools. In 1790
the town was divided into nine districts, viz:
(1). Beginning at the north line of said town on the river,
extending southwardly as far as the north line of Jacob Taber,
Jun's lot, including the first and second mile.
(2). Beginning at the north line of Jacob Taber, Jun's lot,
thence southerly as far as the north line of Jonathan Low's lot,
including the first and second mile, likewise the third mile from
the north line of the town southwardly as far as the south line of
Jacob Taber's lot.
(3). Beginning at the last mentioned bounds, extending south-
wardly as far as the south line of John Williams' lot, including
first, second, and third mile.
Vassulboro, Maine. 51
(4). Beginning at John Williams' south line, extending south-
wardly as far as Jethro Gardiner's north line, including the first
and second mile.
(5). From Jethro Gardiner's north line to the south line of
said town, including the first and second mile.
(6). Beginning at the north line of said town, extending
southwardly as far as David Dickey's south line, including fourth
and fifth mile.
(7). From David Dickey's south line extending southwardly
as far as the south line of Bunker Farwell's lot, including the
fourth and fifth mile.
(8). From Bunker Farwell's south line southerly as far as the
line between lots No. 7 and 8 on the fourth mile, including the
third, fourth and fifth miles.
(9). From the line between lots 7 and 8 on the fourth mile
southwardly as far as the south line of said town, including the
third, fourth and fifth mile.
The committee making this division was composed of Reuben
Fairfield, Charles Webber, Nehemiah Getchell, Daniel McFadden,
Joseph Fellows and John Taber. Teachers were hired and the
schools of the town commenced. Alterations were made in the
bounds of districts as the convenience of the inhabitants demanded
and in 1795 another district was formed in the south part. This
year a committee was chose]) in open town meeting to obtain
teachers for all districts and pay out the money according to the
number of pupils in each. The school interests were closely
watched, and in 1797 the number of schools were reduced to
seven, and the $ 700.00 raised by the town was disbursed by the
52 Vassalboro, Maine.
selectmen, who also engaged the teachers. In 1798 another divi-
sion into districts was made, and a year later $1,000.00 was raised
to build ten school-houses. In 1809 districts nine and thirteen
were joined, but were to continue two schools taught by two teachers,
one of whom was to be selected by the Friends. In 1816 the
seventeen schools were visited by a committee appointed by the
town which custom prevailed several years with beneficial results.
The districts were again changed and re-bounded in 1823, but not
until 1839 was the division of the town made into the twenty two
districts which are now substantially the same. Some fifty years
ago an academy was established at Getchell's Corners and
flourished a score of years as the Vassalboro Academy. The
building was used for religious as well as secular instruction, but
in 1868 it was sold to the Methodist society and remodelled into
the present Methodist church. From a town committee to hire
teachers and visit schools the town voted a proper person in each
district to do the duties for his district. Later years a super-
intendent has been elected who visits and cares for the schools.
Uniform text books of standard editions are now the property of
the town, and a yearly appropriation for such books is made. The
districts number twenty two and the houses and schools are in
good condition. The school-building at North Vassalboro, built
about 1872, contains three departments and a large public hall on
the second floor. In 1873 an appropriation of $ 500.00 was made
for a high school at East Vassalboro, but the continued success of
Oak Grove Seminary has superseded the necessity for the high
school.

CENSUS 1904.
The population of the town of Vassalboro has been arranged
herewith in families where that arrangement has been possible.
In these families in addition to the names of the resident living
members, the names of the non-resident members are included.
It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the
names of all non-residents of Vassalboro as the names appear only
when one or both of the parents are still living in town. At the
end of the Census will be found the present addresses of these
non-residents when such addresses have been given to the author.
The non-residents are indicated by the star (*).
Opposite the names of the population will be found the occu-
pation. In order that we might give something of value in
ascertaining facts concerning attendance upon schools, we have
given all those who attend a common school or any grade below
that of a High School the occupation of Pupil, indicated by the
abbreviation "pi.' 1 Opposite the names of those who are attend-
ing a High school or other institution of higher learning we have
placed the abbreviation "stu." We give hi the following list
